dice of life..

..so if your having a bad day, don't worry there's always a fresh pile of dog poop on the streets waiting to claim its next victim and make your day just that much worse.  Texting from your phone while driving is dangerous but debatably equally as dangerous while walking on the streets, as it increases the likely hood of stepping in poop from 10% to a whopping 85% as proven by many of my friends.


I'd like to take this time to announce that I have regained full feeling in the lower right side of my lip!  Before coming to France I had all four wisdom teeth extracted and proceeded to drool all over myself for the following 24 hrs. Quite a sexy look, I must say.  Four days later I became a bit concerned when my lower lip was still entirely numb.  Flipping to the FAQ's page of the patient handout I was given the day of the surgery, I read the phrase, "Call the doctor immediately if you are still experiencing any numbness after 24hrs."  Lovely.  The doctor said that he could make time to see me the following day, however I already had a follow-up appointment scheduled for three days later and after reading all the possible horror stories online that I could get a hold of, I had already concluded that the feeling was never coming back!  My fears were half confirmed after the doctor's visit.  He poked and prodded at my lower lip and chin and came up with an insightful answer. " I believe that the feeling will come back in about 3-6 months," or in other words, "I haven't the slightest clue when the feeling will come back."  But I suppose I can't complain anymore...his roundabout guess was right and I will no longer have to worry about drooling on myself! yay!


After a weekend of intense rain, I woke up early this morning to a day of beautiful sunshine!!! I spent the night at my friend Rebecca's apartment and after both exclaiming at how great the weather was, she turned to me and gave me the, 'are you thinking what I'm thinking' look.  "YES! TO THE BEACH WE GO!"  We grabbed our bathing suits and made it to the beach by noon for some tanning under the hot sun.  We both giggled at different times at how amazing the weather is. It's November!


I love Nice. 


I am truley blessed!


hugs and kisses
